Half Life will only run in 16 bit color!

I usually keep my desktop at 32 bit color. Just recently (I can't pinpoint when this started) half life pops up with a screen that says I need to switch to 16 bit color on the desktop in order for it to run.

NT compatibility.....?

mozzer
This site is still called NT compatible, but all the new harware / games / apps are only listed with W2K compatibility. What about those of us still using NT4? We would quite like to know if a game runs under NT, you know.

rmohanka
How to set this up? I've heard things like 'Install it under Windows 9x and then move the Mech Warrior 3 registry entries to Windows 2000'. . . Is there an easier way?.

Vorpal Bunny
Ran into an interesting problem today, trying to play Omikron: Nomad Soul. After going through a full 1. 5 GB install, the game would crash out saying that 'omikron. exe' has created errors. Uninstalled Omikron.

syncing to monitor refresh under d3d, v3

Sky
Has anyone figured out how to turn of the monitor refresh syncing for direct 3d. Seems like all the win2k overclockers for the voodoo3 have this feature disabled. (I use Gary Peterson's Voodoo3 Overclocker) I've looked everywhere and can't find any way to do it.
